Safest Places in the US?

I just wondered what states people would regard as being some of the safest places to live in the USA? When I say "safe" I mean the safest states from dangers such as natural disasters like Hurricanes, Tornados, Earthquakes, Floods, Wild Fires, Grapefruit sized hailstones, Severe Weather etc, as well as from crime, gangs and things like that? Try Maine...other than a little snow.... |

Safest Places in the US?
I just wondered what states people
would regard as being some of the safest places to live in the USA? I think we've discussed this topic previously; you might want to search the archives. There's probably no place in the world that's without inherent dangers of various kinds, especially if you include not only natural disasters but also dangers such as crime, disease, famine, etc. Surely it would be better if [homes] were constructed of something more solid like big stone? Certainly there are construction methods that make homes more secure, but this usually mean higher construction costs, so most homeowners opt for cheaper construction and take their chances. Keep in mind that odds of a natural disaster destroying any particular house are *extremely* small in most cases. Jim |
